Libya is Hillary Clinton’s Iraq

Since NATO-backed forces invaded Libya five years ago, the once stable and prosperous nation has been reduced to chaos and civil war. Thousands of Libyans have been killed. Millions are homeless and in fear of their lives. ISIS has gained a foothold in Libya, which they never had under Muammar Qaddafi.

The articles linked below tell why the Libyan intervention was a failure from the standpoint of U.S. self-interest.

The question that almost nobody asks—that I myself failed to ask at the time—is whether the United States has a moral right to wage a war of aggression against a foreign country just because somebody thinks it is in our interest to do so.
